I don’t usually do fancy things because I am prone to spilling sauce down my top, failing to recognise celebrities when I bump into them, and vocalising my dislike of high heels midway through said fancy thing.

But when I was invited to Diner en Blanc on Saturday night, I couldn’t resist. Each year, the 4000 attendees wear strictly only white, and learn of the event’s secret location (this year, Centennial Park) just two hours before it begins.

They also bring their own tiny white table, white folding chairs and a white tablecloth, and set up their own gourmet picnic under the stars while hipsters play dance tunes on some sort of electronic harp (no, I didn’t know that was a thing that existed, either.)

In short, the whole thing is quite the spectacle. And — once the thousands of revellers are gathered in the one place — it’s hard to take a bad photo.
